Whats is EMule ?
eMule is a peer-to-peer file sharing application that works with both the eDonkey network and the Kad network.
The distinguishing features of eMule are the direct exchange of sources between client nodes, fast recovery of corrupted downloads, and the use of a credit system to reward frequent uploaders. Furthermore, eMule transmits data in Zlib-compressed form to save bandwidth. Another feature of eMule, or any eDonkey network client in general, is the ability to accept 'ed2k: URL scheme' (ed2k Links, eDonkey links) from a web browser and begin downloading the file(s) to which these links refer. These links ensure that the file being downloaded shares the same hash, and therefore is not a "fake". The matching of file sources is verified through the use of the MD4 algorithm.
eMule is coded in Microsoft Visual C++ using the Microsoft Foundation Classes. Released under the GNU General Public License, eMule is free software; its popularity has led to eMule's codebase being used as the basis of a Linux-specific client, xMule, and a multiplatform client, aMule, along with the release of many eMule mods (modifications of the original eMule) on the Internet.
